Is Babysitting Advisable While Getting Treated For Shingles?

I was diagnosed with shingles. This is my second time. The first was about 12 years ago. I started with the anti viral pills. I babysit my 3 and 6 year old grandsons once a week and visit my 92 year old mom in a nursing home. It started showing on Sunday night in the back waistline and I thought they were hives. It seems as if it s an easier one this time around. Should I continue baby sitting and visiting, or stop for a while?

Hello,

I recommend you to stop for a while just for safety because the oldest and children are more in dangerous.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
